Will the Turbo engine last (reliability / longevity)?

I'm worried about this new turbo, what do you think?

I'm worried about the bronze rims & my mall cred in 10 years. Not so much the turbo.

Toyota have hilux turbo in rest of the world . which is very reliable …

I think you are in the minority here, look at the pole.

Will people put 45-50,000 miles/year on their tacos? Doubtful, but I still voted yes!

 

[Drm919]

so maybe 2040 was a better year to choose for the poll :(

Many trucks these days with a Turbo. It'll be fine. People saying otherwise are probably still stuck on the fact they're ditching their precious gutless v6

That would be for the diesel engines so not that comparable.

It’ll be fine. Toyota has been overbuilding engines for decades. Look at the 2JZ-GTE Supra turbo from the 1990s. Racers are still using them as a base 30 years later, with some putting out well over 2000 horsepower at the wheels. It’s a known fact that even with stock internals, that engine is massively reliable up to 900 horsepower.

I don’t understand why.. it’s just a turbo……

So what in your mind makes a turbo on a diesel different than a turbo on a gas engine?

The larger compression ratio for diesel engines causes temps to be lower than a gas engine, sometimes as much as 200 degrees lower on exhaust temps

So I used to work in designing mounting exhaust systems for diesel engines and I don't think that's true. Gas exhaust temps are in the 400-500F range, with a modern diesel aftertreatment exhaust gas temps are similar.

edit: stupid unit conversions.
